Incident Report Form | Queensland Baseball Umpires Association

All ejections, benches clearing incidents or team warnings for deliberately throwing at a batter must be reported.

An incident report may not necessarily be an ejection, it may be due to an incident that did warrant an ejection or through hindsight should have occurred. The standards of removal from the game can be found through this Close Call Sports article.

For examples of how to write an ejection report, see the below examples:
